Basically, that it is not and has never been alive. It is formed of nonliving compounds and elements.
An inorganic mineral does not contain any Carbon
When a mineral is described as inorganic, it means that it does not contain carbon-hydrogen bonds. This classification differentiates minerals from organic substances, which are compounds that contain carbon-hydrogen bonds.
Inorganic refers to a mineral that is made of compounds which are not organic. When something is inorganic, it has not arisen from natural growth. Inorganic also refers to being of a non-biological and inanimate origin.

When a mineral can scratch another mineral, it means that the mineral is harder than the mineral it can scratch. Hardness is a measure of a mineral's resistance to being scratched, with the Mohs scale commonly used to rank minerals based on their hardness.
That would be synthetic. Synthetic materials are man-made. Inorganic means that it is not biological in nature (in otherwords, flesh-like, or made from a living creature).
Inorganic pigments contain only inorganic ingredients.
In chemistry organic means it is made or contains carbon.
